*ahem*
Anyway this post is not for him. It's for the teenager who was assaulted months ago on the ice rink while playing in a teen's hockey league and nobody did anything about it.
Here's how it went down (and I quote from the globe and mail because they're reliable):
"..in Woodstock, Ont. A 16-year-old boy was punched viciously in the head nine or 10 times while down on the ice, by an opposing player standing over him, in an incident videotaped by his parents and now viewed by a national audience on news broadcasts...." -The Globe and Mail.
Seems like something that would happen in a regular big man hockey league right? Right. But here's what pisses me off. Brace yourselves once more for a big long ass RANT.
PISS OFF NUMBER ONE: Why is violence in hockey acceptable but beating up anyone outside of that setting is socially unacceptable...say a bar?
"OH HURHUR BUT VIOLENCE IS PART OF HOCKEY!" says the stupid caveman sitting at the bar of the nearest All-Stars wings place. YEAH WELL BEATING SOMEONE TO DEATH IS NOT PART OF HOCKEY.
One; you're beating someone's son, brother, grandson, a father... if anyone beat up your child or father, let's face it.. no one would hear the end of it.
Two; if it gets to a point where players have to start wearing more protective gear to protect them from punches because some idiot will give them a concussion, then clearly something is not right in the sports realm.
THE FUCKING GOAL OF FUCKING HOCKEY IS TO GLIDE THE FUCKING HOCKEY PUCK INTO THE FUCKING GOAL.
PISS OF NUMBER TWO: Why is violence in hockey acceptable while beating a kid in the head is frowned upon? How can we as a society be so stupid and hypocritical to allow one thing to happen and not the other?
Why didn't the hockey league do anything about it when the parents stepped in saying "that child was assaulting my son"?
"OH HURHUR BUT VIOLENCE IS PART OF HOCKEY!" says the stupid caveman controlling the hockey league. OH so let's say your child was put in that position and this beat up happened on a playground, you'd turn your back on that child???
WHAT'S THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE YOU MORON?? Someone's kid is beat up and now he has a concussion! just because 'HOCKEY VIOLENCE IS ALLOWED'. ...Hockey violence. such a stupid terminology. violence is still violence. don't try to categorize them, put one over the other and try to make that one more socially acceptable.
I reiterate: THE FUCKING GOAL OF FUCKING HOCKEY IS TO GLIDE THE FUCKING HOCKEY PUCK INTO THE FUCKING GOAL.
PISS OFF NUMBER 3: Why didn't the POLICE do anything about it when the parents stepped in saying "that child was assaulting my son and the hockey league allowed it"?
"OH HURHUR BUT VIOLENCE IS PART OF HOCKEY!" says the fat ass cop in the corner eating his dunkin'donut and sipping his sugar filled up of diluted bean-water known as coffee.
SERIOUSLY? The cops didn't do anything about it. Is our system THAT bad that our own police can't help you when your child gets assaulted? Is this what we as a society has come to? We have to get lawyers involved to get the justice we deserve? Just because this "beat up" was set in an ice rink while everyone was playing hockey? Just because Hockey is Canadian and therefore violence in hockey is acceptable??
Well I apologize, my fellow Canadians. ACTUALLY. I DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR STUPIDITY.
Do you know how fucked up that kind of logic is? That's as fucked up as saying "OH HURHUR BUT KILLING SHARKS FOR THEIR FINS FOR SHARK-FIN SOUP FOR NO NUTRITIONAL BENEFIT IS PART OF OUR CULTURE" (racist Chinese remark there, but ya'll know how racist i am. but i digress.) or like saying "OH HURHUR BUT KILLING COYOTES AND BASHING BABY SEALS FOR THEIR FUR IS PART OF CANADIAN CULTURE." no. like wtf is wrong with you??
No matter how anyone puts it, I will always be against the violence in hockey.
Seriously. no words to describe how pissed off i am.
And no words to describe how much i LOVE this Gif.
